Random Target

A mobster is hiding out in the desert. Any innocent passerby who sees him gets wiped out.

One of them is Sam Kowal, a rival of Hawke and Santini. They helped to take some aerial footage and caught the mobster on camera.

When Kowal is found dead. Detective Anne Brennan thinks that it was local junkies who killed him.

Hawke is certain that someone is targeting them especially when Santini's air hangar is set on fire.

I did like how Hawke had a weird feeling as to who might have betrayed him. That was a good twist.

The mobster angle was cheesy, especially as to how he took out his rivals. The Godfather type theme was a nice touch.

The junkies in the desert hunch for the rising crime spree was a laugh.

Trivia
When Hawke shows the recording from the camera flight, the first scenes are from other episodes, namely S01E06 "One way express" and S01E02 "Shadow of the Hawke".

Goofs
When Hawke and Sgt. Anne Brannen make there escape from the mob hitmen and Hawke is explaining how he figured out Brannen was leaking information, his sunglasses are on. The scene changes to Hawke saying, "I just didn't want to believe it," and his sunglasses are off. When the scene changes and then goes back to Hawke, his sunglasses are back on.
